Toad Hall Cottages

Whiddons is wonderful! Breathtaking views meet the eye from every window from Burgh Island and across the sandy reaches to where the River Avon meets the sea at Bantham Beach, possibly the best sand and surfing beach in the South West. The property is situated on the edge of this pretty coastal village, with its exceptional beach, excellent hostelry, the Sloop Inn and ready access to the coastal path with fabulous walks to Thurlestone and beyond. Immediately adjacent to the house is a path to the quay on the Avon estuary where, with the Harbour Master's agreement, moorings can be arranged and boats launched. A slightly longer jaunt along the 'ham' and on through the dunes brings you to the beach. This outstanding property is the top two floors of a fine 17th century house with Victorian additions that was originally the old village forge. The beautiful hand painted furniture, stripped pine doors, superb furnishings and high quality décor all complement the stunning vistas that can be enjoyed from every room. What more could you want!
